Retrieving Your "Historical Load" Data to Send to Parade

1: Navigate to the Reports:

2: Click "Parade Historical Loads - CSV" report. Note: This will only show up if you have the Parade integration set up already.

3: Run the report from the beginning of the first month you signed up for EZ Loader to current date.

4: Send the report results to your Parade Rep so they can upload your historical load data into Parade's algorithm.

Posting Loads to Parade

There are two methods for posting your load details out to Parade.

Option 1: Through the New Load Wizard

When building a new load through the New Load Wizard, on Page 3 (where you have the option of assigning a Carrier) you will see a "Parade" checkbox. Creating the load with this checkbox selected will post the details out to Parade.

Note: You can set the checkbox to post to Parade to be selected by default for newly built loads.

Option 2: From a Load Page with the status of Available

If you would like to post to Parade from an existing load that is in Available status, go to the carrier section, click "ASSIGN A CARRIER"

Within the "Assign a Carrier" modal, select the "Parade" checkbox and save to post the details out to parade.

What happens when a carrier is found via Parade?

When a carrier is booked via Parade, one of two things happen:

Option #1: If that carrier is already active and onboarded within your EZL account they will automatically be sent the rate confirmation and put on the load.

Option #2: If the carrier is not in your network (i.e. onboarded within EZL) they will be sent a carrier onboarding. Once onboarding is complete, they will be sent the rate con and assigned to that load.
